Hi all, 

My course, Programming Mobile Applications for Android Handheld Systems, will be starting on the Coursera platform tomorrow. 


Right now, we have over 140,000 students enrolled from all over the world. 

This course is part of a trans-institution course sequence. This course and two others, led respectively by Drs. Douglas Schmidt and Jules White of Vanderbilt University, have been designed to complement each other. Therefore, some of the programming assignments and the course project for these courses will be coordinated.   

This course focuses on handheld systems and the design of user-facing applications, and will be taught first. The first Vanderbilt University course, Pattern-Oriented Software Architectures: Programming Mobile Services for Android Handheld Systems will focus on systems programming topics, such as middleware services and background processing, That course is currently schedule to start in March 2014. The second Vanderbilt University course, Programming Cloud Services for Android Handheld Systems will focus on connecting Android mobile devices to cloud computing and data storage resources, essentially turning a device into an extension of powerful cloud-based services on popular cloud computing platforms, such as Google App Engine and Amazon EC2. That course is currently scheduled to begin in early June 2014.

Spread the word,

Adam Porter
